Fredericksburg Expo Center will become Vaccination Central for local health care workers


Local health care workers who want to be vaccinated for COVID-19 will get the point of the shots, starting the week of Jan. 4.
Officials with the Rappahannock Area Health District and Mary Washington Healthcare have been working on logistics for weeks and have rolled out a plan that includes turning the Fredericksburg Expo and Conference Center into Vaccination Central.
Ten public-health nurses and 15 clinical volunteers from the Rappahannock Medical Reserve Corps, who have had the first of the two-dose Moderna vaccine, will start giving shots in the arms at what’s being called Point of Distribution clinics, or PODs.

They caution the aches and pains don’t mean the person is getting the virus or having a reaction to the vaccine. Instead, they indicate the body is stepping up its defenses to build immunity against COVID-19.
“Most of the symptoms are from the immune response, which is a good thing because it means you’re mounting a response,” said Dr. Christopher Newman, chief medical officer of Mary Washington Healthcare. ....

Mary Washington Healthcare plans to roll out virus vaccine Tuesday


As those on the front lines of COVID-19 wait for the newly approved vaccine, the Rappahannock Area Health District topped the 10,000-mark in virus cases on Monday.
Another 220 people tested positive in Fredericksburg and the counties of Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford, as of Monday’s report from the Virginia Department of Health. The increase covered two days because a reporting problem on Sunday resulted in no new local cases posted on the state website.
Mary Washington Healthcare, which operates Mary Washington Hospital and Stafford Hospital, plans to roll out the Pfizer vaccination Tuesday afternoon, said marketing director Lisa Henry. ....
